… an inventory of BBC’s greenhouse gas emissions in the financial year 2018/19 – the ‘baseline’ against which future progress will be evaluated Above: Emission scopes, as defined by the GHG Protocol. Carbon footprint methodology 16 Carbon emissions are calculated by taking activity data (e.g. kWh electricity consumed, litres of fuel) and applying an emissions factor. • Where possible, primary…

…. • In their Net Zero Strategy (2021), the UK government has committed to half direct emissions from the public sector by 2032 (compared to 2017 levels) and aims to further reduce emissions from public sector buildings by 75% by 2037. They have also set a Net Zero 2050 target for the UK. Setting ambitious emissions reduction targets drives momentum for change, can spark innovation and investment…

… to that of carbon dioxide we can derive a CO2 e value - the commonly used unit to report GHG emissions. Although CO2 has the lowest GWP, it is also by far the most abundant GHG emission. Hence the focus on CO2 when discussing emissions reduction and climate change. Emissions sources included 17 Scope 1 Direct Owned transport Fuel combustion Process and fugitive emissions Scope 2 Indirect…

… projects are implemented in the order suggested here, BBC will have a gap-to-target across all emission scopes of 1,215tCO2e in 2027 and 2,478 tCO2e in 2040. • When considering scope 1 and 2 emissions only, the gap to target in 2027 and 2040 are 197tCO2e and 215tCO2e respectively once projects have been implemented. Net Zero 2040, with a minimum emissions reduction of 45% by 2027 0 500 1000…
